I have more blossoms that have formed but waitin' on the baby fruit to come along. <br /><br />Hopefully I'm ahead of the bugs this year by doing the treatment early rather than after I spot too much damage. <br /><br />I'm about ready to build the vertical supports for my raised beds so we'll be heading to Lowe's likely tomorrow.<br /><br />I don't mind the chicken chunks so much, except that I bought the 10 pound chicken tenders last month. Guess we'll be eatin' a lot of chicken in May! They do have the whole fillets sometimes, but then you have a chance that they make a substitute on you like this time.<br /><br />We could sure use some rain. The weed & feed I put down on the lawn in the back is doing its job - the weeds are dying, now I need the grass to grow and fill in! Been running a sprinkler pretty regular this week. It's been HOT!<br /><br />I know what you mean about pecan pie - so good!! I've got a bit of a sweet tooth myself, so I totally understand!! Just ask my hips LOL.Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-79320881358663192582009-04-26T17:34:00.000-05:002009-04-26T17:34:00.000-05:00P.S.

The other 2 are frozen and I hope can be spaced out one per month for the next 2 months. But, mama has a BIG sweet tooth! :\Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746929821979680699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-10657978736856931192009-04-26T17:32:00.000-05:002009-04-26T17:32:00.000-05:00I'm thinking that Latin Fruit & Veggie Box...I'm thinking that Latin Fruit & Veggie Box would be worth it because those little watermelons at Krogers yesterday were about $5 each. I'd like to get it to experiment with, but our budget won't allow for that in May. <br /><br />Just wanted to drop by again & let you know that those 10 lbs of chicken breast fillets must actually be the chunks. The supposed breast fillets are flat & looked like fillets, but they must really be chunks that melded together. I cooked about 3 lbs in the crockpot for teriyaki barbecue chicken and after a couple hours of cooking I tried to gently stir them and they just fell apart. Oh, well, they're still good! :)<br /><br />3 lbs. of frozen breast yielded about 2 lbs. of cooked meat. Plenty to eat for dinner and to have enough left over to freeze. <br /><br />We now have 2 teeny tomatoes on the bush goliath! And, the first cherry tomato sure is growing!<br /><br />I read your article on using chemicals for pest control & figure I'd best get something for the tomatoes, and eventually the cukes and chives I'll be planting. Being a novice gardener, those tips & pics sure came in handy! <br /><br />Have a great week! We're having sunshine thru Tuesday, I think, then stormy weather the rest of the week!

But recently it has been some kind of pie every month. Can you believe that Linda got a pecan pie?!! Next month in addition to the regular fruit & veggie box, they have a 'Latin Flavors' fruit & veggie box, with avocados, key limes, jalapeno peppers, chayote squash, calabacita squash and the usual other veggies - even a watermelon! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get that one.Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-86709279275671415042009-04-25T21:00:00.000-05:002009-04-25T21:00:00.000-05:00I can't wait until we get to GA and I can join up ...I can't wait until we get to GA and I can join up with AFM. I got my co-op box today, and there was lots of good stuff, but pie?! We don't get anything like that. The closest I got was strawberries.

Can't take the heat long, so when I'm in the garden I'm in and out of the house to cool off. Ugh. <br /><br />Yay on the tomatoes!! Isn't it exciting? I actually only have the one green tomato on my Bush Goliath too, but did have some blossom drop because we had a few cold evenings. I guess the tomatoes and the squash didn't like that much! They are recovering (hopefully) and I have some new blossoms on there now, so hopefully we're good to go.<br /><br />Lucky you with the pecan pie!!!<br /><br />Yeah, we were supposed to get the chicken breast fillets. When I get those I just separate them into Ziploc bags to store them. I don't mind having the chunks but if I had known I wouldn't have ordered them since I had all those tenders left over. Oh well. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me know you enjoy the blog - I love hearing others are getting something interesting out of it.Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-74655988485079442342009-04-25T19:38:00.000-05:002009-04-25T19:38:00.000-05:00Trust me I'm not complaining!

Gonna have to put on my thinkin' cap and pull together some casseroles and other stuff I guess! <br /><br />Funny thing is I was expecting a lemon pie because somebody had emailed me about how to prepare their's. I had my mouth all set for lemon! But apple works too. :)Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-34639941618720914592009-04-25T19:37:00.000-05:002009-04-25T19:37:00.000-05:00Hi, Mary!

I have 2 teeny baby tomatoes growing on my cherry tomato bush, and 1 growing on my bush goliath tomato plant. It was so nice to see them growing as I'm a new container gardener.<br /><br />I picked up our AF order this morning and was very pleased with the items. We didn't get the chicken chunks at my distribution center; they substituted large pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts fillets. I was happy about that. :) <br /><br />We ordered a box of the 10 lbs. of chicken and it was large pieces of chicken breast fillets. I was surprised that they were just in a large bag inside the box and the bag wasn't sealed up and I had to break them apart a little bit, but they looked fine otherwise. <br /><br />We ate some of the breaded chicken fillets tonight for dinner and they were very good.<br /><br />Seems like different places had different desserts. Our were pecan pies. YUM! We've already had little pieces. :) Twice! LOL!<br /><br />Enjoy reading your blog and looking forward to trying some of the recipes. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this!<br />God bless!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746929821979680699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-63231827606002626932009-04-25T16:32:00.000-05:002009-04-25T16:32:00.000-05:00Hey Mary, the chicken breast is pieces.
